Some Feel Cromartie’s Fractured Hip Story Isn’t True

There seems to be some that don’t believe the entire story surrounding Antonio Cromarite telling people that he fractured his hip early in the season. Pro Football Weekly adds to the story with the following:

Although Chargers CB Antonio Cromartie revealed after the season that he had been playing with a fractured hip throughout the 2008 season, some close to the team don’t entirely believe his story. While his play clearly dropped off this past season, he certainly didn’t look any slower in coverage, so his hip couldn’t have been that much of a hindrance. If anything, he may be using it as an excuse for his poor campaign. Only time will tell.
